The Basics
Registered Name: Glory And Gore
Nickname: Gaia
Age: 1
Breed: Thoroughbred
Colour & Markings: Brown
Height: 16.1hh
Gender: Filly
Personality: Gaia is not an easy filly to work with - in fact, she is one of the most volatile horses at Riverview Acres currently. She has a very hot and aggressive nature with both people and other horses, with very little seeming to settle her almost constant mood. She is territorial of her stall, cannot be turned out with other horses, and has to be approached with extreme caution by everyone. The outdoor paddock to the rear of her stall is high-walled, with a high gate adorned with a sign advising visitors to stay away - the front of her stall is barred, with a similar sign. The word wild is probably not the right word for her behavior - Gaia can (and does) settle for the few people she deems worthy. But even for those she is no sweet, easy flicka; she is strong willed and constantly challenging her handlers and riders.
Gaia has been described as both restless and energetic. In her stall and paddock she is regularly found impatiently pacing, destroying her feed bucket or pawing at her bedding. In the pasture she will regularly canter around and very rarely seems to just stop and relax. Furthermore, her handlers have commented that getting her to stand is more than a little challenging, and the filly seems happier when on the move.
There is a lot of courage in Gaia. She seems infallible, bombproof even. Her brave nature means she never backs down, and we have yet to find a situation which withdraws from her high levels of confidence. Match this with her highly spirited nature and a need to be the best and you have a horse who thrives in a competitive environment although she seems ill suited to disciplines other than racing. Early signs are that she will thrive on the track.
